Hello! I have been a big fan of [SIP-116] Simplifying time period filtering for users <https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/26651> since it was created 2.5 years ago. I think Superset badly needs this. But the discussion has drifted, with the people steering the SIP leaving the discussion over time. People are now submitting PRs to implement simpler period filtering, but they have lacked the clear direction we need from a SIP vote. I don't feel we can vote on SIP-116 because it's more of a brainstorming thread at this point than a single concrete proposal.
I have thus opened [SIP-116v2] Adding calendar picker to base Superset, revisited <https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/45901>. I took the long original thread and distilled it into a single proposal that I thought best captured the current state of the discussion including ideas that emerged later (a checkbox for showing a simple input option to the user) and the recent addition of the Superset extensions framework. I also tried to honor the various opinions that people contributed. This topic was discussed at the October 2026 Superset Townhall and I incorporated feedback I heard there. Note that my writing in SIP-116v2 is entirely me typing, not AI, and having my own opinions, if that makes you more likely to read or engage in the discussion ;) I think most of the hard work has been done already! By the many people who discussed on that SIP-116 thread, by Pravin Maske who has an open PR that he has reworked to align with SIP-116v2, and by discussion on the Townhall. To that end, please view SIP-116v2 on GitHub and chime in. I hope to subsequently call a vote. A discussion was opened on this list for SIP-116 in May 2025; I think we should close that SIP if this one is approved. Just noting this to be transparent on process and respect the work that's already been done here. Thanks, Sam
